Need for cognition and the correspondence bias

Article Abstract:

The relationship between cognition and correspondence bias was studied using Gilbert's model of social inference. The results revealed that low need for cognition subjects produced stronger correspondence bias than those with high need for cognition. These findings can be attributed to existing differences in information processing of both subjects. The high need for cognition subjects spend more effort to process and correct information compared to the insufficient adjustments made by the subjects with low need for cognition.

The transfer of actor-trait associations inferred from behavior

Article Abstract:

Results of two experimental studies provide further evidence for the development of actor-trait associations based on behavior descriptions. Subjects who were exposed to memory instructions formed actor-trait associations according to the behavior descriptions. The associations were found to be significant to the point that they can also result in negative transfer. Moreover, these strongly developed associations were found to have the capacity to later affect the acquisition of explicit knowledge about the actor.

The encoding and transfer of stereotype-driven inferences

Article Abstract:

Stereotypes influence interpretation of ambiguous social behavior, and this usually happens during the encoding process. This hypothesis was proven by experiments in positive transfer for inference pairs and cued recall.
